Anti-communism comic book.
This is a Cold War-era anti-communist comic book published in 1947 by the Catechetical Guild Educational Society. It was created as a piece of propaganda to warn Americans about the perceived dangers of communism infiltrating the United States.
The comic book presents a dystopian vision of a communist takeover of America, depicting how communist agents supposedly manipulate labor unions, the media, and government institutions to sow chaos and eventually seize control. Through dramatic and often exaggerated storytelling, the comic portrays communist leaders as ruthless and deceptive, using fear, propaganda, and violence to subjugate the American people. It emphasizes themes of patriotism, religious faith, and individual responsibility as safeguards against communist influence.
“Is This Tomorrow” was widely distributed in schools, churches, and community groups, aiming to educate and alarm the public about the “Red Scare.” It reflects the intense anti-communist sentiment of the early Cold War period and serves as a historical artifact of the era’s political anxieties. Today, it is studied as an example of mid-20th-century propaganda and the role of popular media in shaping public opinion during the Cold War.
